You check there when you get stumped in hopes of finding a solution. Search will take you there as well as here. That area has existed a long time and that's why it only has 3 pages. You don't see many replies because it's not an area for discussion. When someone posts a really helpful thread here we can move it there, once discussion is done, to be easy to find. In discussion threads you might see members post, "This would be a great thread for the FAQ area". Sometimes staff sees these and moves them to FAQ, or a member can make the request to a staff member. It's also a great place to post a YouTube video you found with good tech info/tutorial
The way it is meant to work is to refer members here to the thread they need there. It's our reference library

That makes sense. What seems to be happening now though is what I described in the original post. I just hate to see people giving up on us and going away.
Could it be set up so that only mods can post there and transfer things there? And if someone tries to post there, they get redirected here? That way, everything would at least start out here and be accessible here. And if a mod deemed something relevant or important enough, they could transfer it to the FAQ area, which would leave behind a transfer notation in this area. And give us a more organized reference area. I like that us common folk haven't been restricted from posting there, but at this point in the evolution of forums, it seems it would help our traffic to have everybody who comes through here and is interested in squarebodies, get directed to the same location where they are most likely to be engaged by others.
